14 Features of the DVS-9000 Production Switcher System Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions The DVS-9000 Production Switcher system boasts extensible high performance and multifunctionality. The following are some of the principal features of this system. System configuration flexibility SDTV support This system supports the SDTV signal formats 480i/59.94 and 576i/50. The format selection can be switched by a simple control panel operation. Extensible system configuration By suitable combination of options, the switcher can be configured with various inputs and outputs, and different numbers of M/E banks. The system offers the flexibility to change and expand as required. When the optional DME board set is installed, the system allows you to use up to four DME channels. Powerful external device interfaces By connecting to a Sony routing switcher or similar, a large system can be built. From the control panel, it is also possible to operate other equipment, including VTRs and disk recorders. Powerful tally system The complete system including routing switcher provides an all-inclusive tally system. The system can be adapted to different applications and settings, using multiple tally outputs, including both on-air and recording tallies. Comprehensive video manipulation M/E banks Each mix/effects bank (M/E bank) is equipped with four keyers, and each keyer is capable not only of chroma keying, but also independent key transitions separate from the background transitions. The four keys can be freely combined, to carry out four different program outputs. 14 Features of the DVS-9000 Production Switcher System

15 Powerful frame memory functions The frame memory can store 222 frames in an SDTV system, and up to eight of these can be recalled simultaneously. Link operation with DME Using the BKDS-9470 DME Board Set, a range of DME functions including DME wipes and processed keys can be handled as switcher functions. The system can interface with up to four DME units. Designed for use in a live broadcasting environment High-performance user interface The menu control block provides a large color LCD panel, with rapid touchpanel menu selection. The source name displays have color backlit LCD displays. The signal names, and graphical representations of the patterns associated with buttons provide intuitive feedback, and allow the immediate decisions that are required in a live operating environment.

18 Basics of Signal Selection Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions Bus Selection The M/E bank, PGM/PST bank, and the auxiliary bus control block has crosspoint buttons. These buttons are identified by numbers common to all of the banks, and a signal is assigned to each number. The basis of signal selection is to select, in a cross-point button row, the crosspoint button to which is assigned the desired signal. The key row is shared by multiple buses. To assign a bus to the cross-point buttons in the auxiliary bus control block, press one of the AUX delegation buttons to select the bus. The following table illustrates the correspondence between buses and crosspoint button rows, and the delegation operations.

20 Signal Assignment and Selection Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions Assigning signals to buttons Each cross-point button has a corresponding button number, to which you assign a signal. In addition to the signals input to the PRIMARY INPUTS connectors on the rear panel of the switcher, you can also select signals generated within the switcher. Each button has assigned to it a video signal and a key signal, forming a pair. You can set these video and key combinations in a Setup menu. For details of Setup menu operations, see Chapter 16 Engineering Setup (Volume 2). Cross-point button control block button numbers On the M/E and PGM/PST banks, each cross-point button and reentry button has two button numbers, and you use the shift button to switch between these numbers. The button numbers are as follows. 20 Signal Selection

SHIFT button KEY1 KEY2 KEY3 KEY4 DME1 DME2 DME3 DME4 UTIL1 UTIL2 XPT HOLD SHIFT When the SHIFT button is off: When the SHIFT button is on: Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions Button numbers when the rightmost buttons (12th buttons) are used as SHIFT buttons. SHIFT button KEY1 KEY2 KEY3 KEY4 DME1 DME2 DME3 DME4 UTIL1 UTIL2 XPT HOLD SHIFT SHIFT button When the SHIFT button is off: When the SHIFT button is on: Signal Name Display You can attach a name (source name) to each signal assigned to a cross-point button, with a maximum of 16 characters. This allows the source name displays in the cross-point control block and auxiliary bus control block to show the source names of the video signals assigned to numbers 1 to 31. Signal Selection 21

22 Colors of lit cross-point buttons In a particular row of cross-point buttons, only the last pressed button is effective, and lights amber or red. The amber indicates the low tally state, and the red indicates the high tally state, to indicate whether or not the selected signal appears in the final output video. Significance of colors of lit cross-point buttons Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions Color State Significance Amber Low tally Does not appear in final output video Red High tally Appears in final output video 22 Signal Selection

23 Transitions In the M/E and PGM/PST banks, the switch from the current video stream (appearing on the corresponding program monitor) to a new video stream is referred to as a transition. Selecting the Next Transition To execute a transition, it is first necessary to decide how the image will be changed as a result of the transition. This selection is carried out using the next transition selection buttons (see page 140) in the transition control block of the M/E or PGM/PST bank. For details of operations, Basic Operating Procedure (page 176). Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions In the M/E bank and PGM/PST bank, you can change one of the images, the background, and keys 1 to 4 (downstream keys 1 to 4 in the PGM/PST bank), and also vary combinations of these simultaneously. The following are examples of transition. Changing the background A background transition switches from the video currently selected on the background A bus (the current video) to the video selected on the background B bus (the new video). Transition Background A Background B In the default selection of flip-flop mode (see page 33), the background always switches in the direction from the A bus to the B bus. When the transition completes, the cross-point selections on the A and B buses are interchanged. Transitions 23

24 Inserting and deleting a key You can insert one or more of the four keys (downstream keys on the PGM/ PST bank). If you select a key which is already inserted, the transition will delete the key. A simultaneous combination of deleting and inserting keys is also possible. Key 1 Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions Insert Delete Key 2 Inserting or deleting key 1 and key 2 Key 1 Transition Deleting key 1 and inserting key 2 Key 2 24 Transitions

25 Simultaneously changing the background and keys You can change any of the four keys (downstream keys on the PGM/PST bank) and the background at the same time. Key 1 Transition Key 2 Changing the background and key 2 simultaneously Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions Key 1 Transition Key 2 Key 3 Key 4 Changing the background and keys 1 to 4 simultaneously Selecting the key priority If a number of keys are already inserted in the current video, you can check or change the key priority, that is to say, the order in which the keys are overlaid. When a key priority ([KEY PRIOR]) is selected as the next transition, you can also change the key priority in the new video. For details of this operation, see Key Priority Setting (page 179). Transitions 25

26 The key priority values go from 1 to 4, with a higher priority key being in front as seen on the screen. Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions Independent Key Transitions Priority sequence on the screen What is an independent key transition? In addition to common transitions, it is possible to carry out independent transitions on the keyers of the M/E bank and PGM/PST bank. These are called independent key transitions. By carrying out an independent key transition in combination with a common transition, different transition types can be used for the background and keys. It is also possible to use different transition types for key insertion and key deletion by means of a Setup menu setting. 1 For details of this operation, see Basic Independent Key Transition Operations (page 197). The following description compares the independent key transition with a common transition, taking a simultaneous change of the background and key as an example. Video used in the transition Background A Background B Key to insert 26 Transitions

27 Effect of a common transition In the case shown in the above illustration, carrying out a common transition produces the following change in the image. Transition type: wipe Same wipe is applied to background and key. Effect of a common transition Effect of use with an independent key transition The key is inserted with an independent key transition as the background changes with a common transition, providing the following result. Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions Transition type: wipe Independent key transition type: wipe Different wipe patterns are applied to the background and key transitions. Effect of a background transition and independent key transition Combining other transitions with independent key transitions When you set a common transition and a key independent transition for the same key, you can apply two different effects such as a wipe and mix (dissolve) (see page 30) to the key simultaneously. When carrying out such a combination of transitions simultaneously on a key as auto transitions (see page 33), the result depends on the timing of pressing the respective [AUTO TRANS] buttons. Transitions 27

28 Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions Simultaneous execution If the [AUTO TRANS] buttons for the two transitions are pressed simultaneously, the following is the result. Note that in both cases the common transition is a wipe and the independent key transition is a mix (dissolve). Deleting a key with simultaneous transitions: With the key inserted, it is deleted simultaneously with the two transitions. When the common transition completes, even if the independent key transition is still not completed, the two end simultaneously. Wipe and mix (dissolve) are carried out simultaneously The key is deleted, even if the independent key transition has not completed. Deleting a key with simultaneous transitions Inserting a key with simultaneous transitions: With the key not inserted, it is inserted simultaneously with the two transitions. If the common transition or independent key transition ends first, the other continues to completion. Wipe and mix (dissolve) are carried out simultaneously The transitions continue until both are completed. Inserting a key with simultaneous transitions Time offset execution If the [AUTO TRANS] buttons for the two transitions are pressed with a time offset, the following is the result. Note that in both cases the common transition is a wipe and the independent key transition is a mix (dissolve). 28 Transitions

29 Time offset execution with the key inserted: With the key inserted, it is deleted with the two transitions acting with a time offset. Whichever button is pressed first, when the common transition completes, even if the independent key transition is still not completed, the two end simultaneously. Example: When the independent key transition [AUTO TRANS] button is pressed later Common transition (wipe) start Independent key transition (mix) start The key is deleted, even if the independent key transition has not completed. Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions Time offset execution with the key inserted Time offset execution with the key not inserted: With the key not inserted, it is inserted with the transition whose [AUTO TRANS] button is pressed first. Since the key is then in the inserted state, with the transition whose [AUTO TRANS] button is pressed later, the key is deleted. When the key is completely deleted, both transitions complete. Transitions 29

30 Example 1: When the independent key transition [AUTO TRANS] button is pressed later Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions Common transition (wipe) start Independent key transition (mix) start The transition completes with the key deleted. Example 2: When the common transition [AUTO TRANS] button is pressed later Independent key transition (mix) start Common transition (wipe) start The transition completes with the key deleted. Time offset execution with the key not inserted Transition Types Selecting the transition type determines the way in which the transition occurs. Carry out the type selection with the transition type selection buttons in the transition control block of the M/E or PGM/PST bank. For details of this operation, see Basic Operating Procedure (page 176). The following are the transition types. Mix This is a dissolve, in which the new video progressively fades in over the current video, with the sum of the two video outputs maintained constant. At the mid-point of the transition (when the fader lever is in the center position), the output of each is 50%. This transition type can also be selected for an independent key transition. In this case, the key either dissolves in or dissolves out similarly, with the progress of the transition. 30 Transitions

31 NAM (non-additive mix) In this dissolve, the current video and new video signals are compared, and the signal with the higher luminance level is given priority in the output. The current video is maintained at 100% output for the first half of the transition as the new video increases progressively to 100%, then the current video is progressively reduced from 100% to zero in the second half with the new video maintained at 100% output. Super mix Note This transition type is not available for an independent key transition. In this dissolve, the current video is maintained at 100% output for the first half of the transition as the new video is mixed while increasing progressively to 100%, then the current video is progressively reduced from 100% to zero in the second half with the new video maintained at 100% output. Note that you can set the output levels of the current and new video signals at the mid-point of the transition, in the range 0 to 100%. (See Super Mix Settings (page 185).) Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions Preset color mix Note This transition type is not available for an independent key transition. This is a two-stage dissolve, comprising two transitions, the first a dissolve to a color matte, and the second from the color matte to the new video. In the first transition, the current video is replaced by the color matte in a mix (dissolve), then in the second transition the color matte is replaced by the new video also in a mix (dissolve). You can specify the color matte by luminance, saturation, and hue values. (See Color Matte Settings (page 186).) Notes This transition type is not available for an independent key transition. In the bus fixed mode, a preset color mix cannot be used. One-time mode When a preset color mix is completed, the transition type switches to the previous transition type automatically. This is called one-time mode. Transitions 31

32 When only the background is changed Current video Color matte New video Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions When a key is inserted Key Preset color mix (changing background only) Key fades out When a key is selected as the next transition When no key is selected Key fades in Preset color mix (transition including key) Wipe A wipe replaces the current video by the new video according to a predetermined pattern. This transition type can also be selected for an independent key transition. DME wipe For details, see Wipes (page 46). Using a DME effect, it is possible to obtain a transition to a new image from the current image, as in a wipe. You can also use this transition type as an independent key transition. For details, see DME Wipes (page 57) and Chapter 6 DME Wipes (page 259). Note To carry out DME wipes requires the BKDS-9470 DME Board Set. 32 Transitions

33 Cut A cut switches instantaneously from the current video to the new video. When the next transition is a key transition, the key cuts in or out instantaneously. Executing a Transition There are two modes of executing a transition: an auto transition by button operation or a manual transition using the fader lever. It is also possible to combine both methods, taking control with the fader lever of an auto transition which has partly completed, or complete a transition started with the fader lever as an auto transition. By combining common transitions with independent key transitions, different transition types can be applied to the background and keys, for example allowing a key wipe combined with a background dissolve. (See Executing a Transition (page 187).) Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions Auto transitions Manual transitions Cut A cut switches instantaneously from the current video to the new video. When the next transition is a key transition, the key cuts in or out instantaneously. Auto transition The transition from the current video to the new video is carried out automatically at a constant rate, using the transition effect selected as the transition type. You can set the transition rate in advance. (See Setting the Transition Rate (page 188).) Using the fader lever, you can manually control the progress of the transition. Moving the fader lever from one end of its travel to the other completes the transition. Flip-flop mode and bus fixed mode The following describes the difference between flip-flop mode and bus fixed mode, taking the M/E bank as an example; the functionality is the same, however, on the PGM/PST bank. Normally, when a background transition is carried out on the M/E bank, the signals selected on the A and B rows of cross-point buttons are interchanged at the end of the transition. That is to say, except during a transition, the Transitions 33

34 background output is always from the background A bus. This is called flipflop mode. The alternative is known as bus fixed mode, in which there is no bus interchange. In this mode, when the fader lever is at the top of its travel the output from the A bus is always 100%, and when the fader lever is at the bottom of its travel the output from the B bus is 100%. Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions A B BLACK BLACK Buttons lit Fader lever A B BLACK BLACK Flip-flop mode Bus fixed mode A BLACK B BLACK Flip-flop mode and bus fixed mode Transition preview For details of fader lever operation in bus fixed mode, see page 195. With the preview output of the M/E bank and PGM/PST bank, you can check the effect of a transition in advance. To carry out a transition preview, press the [TRANS PVW] button in the transition control block. (See Transition Preview (page 196).) Pattern limit Note In multi-program mode, DSK mode (page 129) or bus fixed mode (page 33), it is not possible to carry out a transition preview. When a wipe or DME wipe pattern is selected for the transition, you can specify the range of movement of the wipe pattern through the course of the transition, for each bank independently. 34 Transitions

35 When the pattern limit function is enabled, carrying out a transition results in the following effect for example settings. When the limit value is set to 50%, the effect at the end of the transition is the same as when the fader lever is at the center position in the normal case (with the pattern limit function disabled); the wipe pattern does not complete. When the limit value is set to 0%, the wipe effect is completely disabled, and carrying out the transition produces no change in the image. When the limit value is set to the maximum 100%, the image changes in exactly the same way as when the pattern limit function is off, but when the transition is completed, the cross-point selections on the background A and B buses do not interchange. You can specify the limit value either by entering a numeric value in the menu, or by operating the fader lever to set the fader lever position. (See Pattern Limit (page 189).) Note The pattern limit function is not available in an independent key transition. Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions Transitions 35

36 Keys Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions Key Types A key is an effect in which a part of the background image is replaced by an image or superimposed text. The signal determining how the background is cut out is termed key source, and the signal that replaces the cut-out part is termed key fill. The system component responsible for processing a key is referred to as a keyer. The M/E and PGM/PST banks each have four keyers, and all of these keyers provide the same functions. The key type indicates the manner in which the key source signal is used to cut out the background. In each bank, you can use the following key types. You can select the key type using the key type selection buttons in the key control block, or by a setting in the Type menu for the keyer. (See Key Type Setting (page 201).) Luminance key Linear key Color vector key Chroma key Wipe pattern key Key wipe pattern key Luminance key Linear key Color vector key The background is cut out according to the luminance (Y) of the key source signal, and at the same time the key fill signal is cut out and then added to the background signal. This is a type of luminance key, but there is a reduced variability in gain, allowing more precise adjustment. The key signal is created from a combination of the luminance and chrominance components of the key source signal. When perfect keying is not possible with a luminance key, this allows a key signal to be created even if the luminance level is low, provided that the colors have high saturation. 36 Keys

37 Clean mode In a luminance key, linear key or color vector key, you can enable the clean mode. When the clean mode is on, the key source does not affect the key fill, which is added unchanged to the background. This improves the keyed image quality, but means that the part of the key fill signal which is not to be inserted must be completely black, or it will color the background. You set the clean mode with the Type menu of the respective keyer. (See Setting the key type in a menu (page 201).) Note that in the following situations, the clean mode goes off, and cannot be turned on. When the key type is a pattern key When key inversion is on When the key fill is a matte When the key edge is an outline When the key edge is normal with soft edge being on When fine key is on When the key positioner is on Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions Chroma key A key signal based on a particular color is used to cut out the background, and the key fill is then inserted. The inserted signal is also referred to as the foreground, and the composite image is called a chroma key image. Foreground Background Chroma key image Normal mix and additive mix In creating a chroma key image, either a normal mix or an additive mix can be used. To select which, use the Type>Chroma Adjust menu for the keyer. (See Chroma Key Composition (page 203).) Keys 37

38 Normal mix: The foreground is cut out with the key signal, and then combined with the background, which has also been cut out with the key signal. Additive mix: The background, which has been cut out with the key signal, is combined with the unshaped foreground. This is effective for a naturallooking composite when the scene includes glass or other translucent objects. Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions Plane function In an additive mix, the foreground is not shaped by the key signal, and variations in the (blue) background appear in the composite image. To prevent this, it is possible to set a particular luminance level for the background, and any parts below this level are cut forcibly. Methods of adjusting the composite obtained from chroma keying include automatic adjustment with the auto chroma key function, and manual adjustment carrying out the necessary processing separately. The optimum results will be obtained by first carrying out adjustments with the auto chroma key function, then making any fine adjustments as required. The following manual adjustments are possible. Key active When this function is off, only the foreground is output and you can make adjustments of color cancel (see the next paragraph). Color cancel If the foreground image includes shades of the background color, set this function to ON to remove the color from the foreground image. Chroma key window You can adjust the range over which the key signal is determined as matching the specified hue. When this adjustment is off the default ranges are used. Chroma keying generates a key signal based on a particular color (reference color) in the foreground (typically a plain blue background), and the window refers to the range of colors which are regarded as matching this specified reference color to create the key signal. As seen on a vectorscope (that is, in the hue-saturation color space), the range for this matching corresponds to a truncated sector. This range is specified by two parameters: the Angle parameter, which determines the range of the hue parameter, and the Crop parameter, which determines the degree of truncation (see the following figure). 38 Keys

39 Angle a) Crop a) Range of colors remaining as foreground a) The Crop and Angle values do not change even if you use the auto chroma key function. Reference color specified by Hue setting Range of colors creating the key signal (to be replaced by background signal) Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions Window adjustment Y balance In normal chroma keying, the key signal is based on the chrominance component only, and all elements of the foreground with the same hue are replaced by the background. Using the Y balance function, you can specify a luminance level range within which the key is active, and replace the specified part by the background. You can use the Y balance function independently on the key signal for the composition and the key signal for the color cancel function. When applied to the key signal for the composition, this produces the foreground with the color cancel effect applied. This can therefore be used to provide an impression of smoke, for example. When the Y balance function is applied to the color cancel key, the relevant part is output in its original color without canceling, and therefore it is possible to combine colors which are the same color as the background (i.e. typically blue) in the foreground. Chroma key shadow This function provides a more realistic treatment when the shadow of an object in the field of view falls on the blue background. Since parts of the blue background darker than a specified intensity are treated as shadows, there is no effect on cutting out of the foreground. Video signal adjustment You can vary the foreground signal gain, or change the hue. There are separate adjustments for the gain of the overall video signal, and Y and C components. Keys 39

40 Wipe pattern key For details of video adjustment operations and the adjustment items, see Chroma Key Adjustments (page 204). This uses the wipe pattern selected for a transition as the key source. Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions Key wipe pattern key This uses the wipe pattern selected for an independent key transition as the key source. Note on wipe pattern modifiers In a wipe pattern key or key wipe pattern key, you can apply various modifications, depending on the pattern used, and the modifiers in common with a wipe. However, modifiers which relate to the wipe direction and edge are not reflected. Key Modifiers Edge modifiers You can apply borders and other effects to the edge of the key. (See Key Edge Modifications (pages 211 and 227).) Normal This is the state with no key edge modifiers applied. 40 Keys

41 Border This applies a uniform width border to the edge of the key. You can adjust the border width and density. You can also enable the separate edge function, and adjust the top, bottom, left, and right border widths separately. Drop border This applies a border below and to the right for example, of the key. You can adjust the border width, position, and density. Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions Shadow This applies a shadow below and to the right for example, of the key. You can adjust the shadow width, position, and density. Keys 41

42 Outline This uses the outline of the original key as the key. You can adjust the width and density of the outline. You can also enable the separate edge function, and adjust the top, bottom, left, and right outline widths separately. Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions Emboss This applies an embossing effect to the outline of the key. You can adjust the width and position of the embossing, and the density. You can adjust the density separately for key fill and key edge. When embossing is on, the Fine Key and zabton functions go off. Soft edge This softens the edge of the key. Zabton This inserts a translucent pattern behind a key. You can adjust the pattern size, softness, density and color. Edge type and key fill/key source position The key edge modification function has two modes: a mode ( key drop ON mode ) in which the key fill/key source position moves downward, and a mode ( key drop OFF mode ) in which it does not move downward. Key drop ON mode: The key fill/key source position moves downward by eight scan lines or four scan lines. When a drop border or shadow is selected, it is possible to apply a border to the top edge of the key. Key drop OFF mode: The key fill/key source position does not move. When a drop border or shadow is selected, it is not possible to apply a border to the top edge of the key. In the key drop ON mode, a menu setting selects between the mode ( 4H mode ) in which the key fill/key source position is lowered by four scan lines, and the mode ( 8H mode ) in which the key fill/key source position is lowered by eight scan lines. When [Fine Key] is on, the edge width is forced to the range 0.00 to Note that in the following situations, the key drop mode is forcibly set to ON. When the edge type is border, outline, or emboss 42 Keys

43 When the edge type is normal with soft edge being on When [Fine Key] is on Edge fill Masks When a border, drop border, or shadow modifier is selected, you can select a signal to fill these edge effects. The edge fill may be either the signal from the dedicated color matte generator, or the signal currently selected on the utility 1 bus. In the case of an outline, there is no edge fill signal selection, because the key fill signal fills the outline, and the rest of the image remains as the background. For the emboss effect, in place of the edge fill signal, the emboss fill matte 1 and emboss fill matte 2 signals are used. A mask is used to inhibit the effect of a key over a part of the image. This allows parts of the background which would otherwise be keyed to be protected, or to correct the key if it is not of the desired shape. Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions For details of masking operations, see Masks (pages 217 and 231). Key mask and background mask There are two types of mask: a key mask and a background mask. Key mask: This masks out a part of the key, which will result in the background appearing. Background mask: This masks out a part of the background, which will result in the key fill appearing. Masked area (box) Key mask Background mask Main mask and subsidiary ( sub ) mask Each keyer allows two masks to be used simultaneously, and these are referred to as the main mask and the sub mask. The signal that determines the mask shape and size is termed the mask source, and different sources are used for the main mask and sub mask. Main mask: This uses the signal from the dedicated box generator provided on each keyer, or the signal from the dedicated pattern generator as the Keys 43

44 Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions Key Memory mask source. When the box generator is selected, a rectangular mask is formed. You can adjust the positions of the four sides of the box separately. When the pattern generator is selected, you can select the pattern and apply modifiers. Sub mask: This uses the wipe generator signal or the signal selected on the utility 1 bus on the M/E or PGM/PST bank, as the mask source. When the wipe generator is selected, the patterns and the pattern modifiers are the same as in a wipe transition. The key memory function allows the keyer settings on each cross-point button to be automatically stored, so that the next time the same cross-point button is selected these settings are recalled automatically. There are two modes for key memory: simple mode and full mode. The parameters stored in each mode are as follows. Simple mode: key type, clean mode (including the plane setting for chroma keying), key position, key inversion, and adjustment values for the particular key type (Clip, Gain, Density, Filter, etc. This includes color vector key, wipe pattern key, key wipe pattern key, and chroma key. However, in the case of a chroma key, it excludes color cancel, Y balance, foreground CCR, window, and shadow.) Full mode: All settings except transition (the same parameters as simple mode, [Fine Key], key modifiers, main and sub mask settings, chroma key detailed settings, and so on) Blink The blink function provides the following effects. Key blink: The key is inserted and deleted at the specified frequency. You can also set the frequency and the proportion of the cycle for which the key is inserted. Edge blink: Key fill and key edge fill are interchanged at the specified frequency. You can specify both the frequency and the proportion of the cycle for which the interchange occurs. The blink settings are in the Transition menu for each key. (See Blink Function (page 222).) 44 Keys

45 Key Default With a simple operation you can return the key adjustment values to their defaults. The adjustment values which can be returned to their default values are as follows. Adjustment values for the particular key type (Clip, Gain, Density, Filter, etc.) In the case of chroma keying, all adjustment values return to their default values. Key position Key inversion Clean mode For details, see Returning the key adjustment values to their defaults (page 233). Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions Key Modify Clear A simple button operation returns the key settings to the initial status settings. For details of the initial status, see Selecting the State After Powering On (Start Up Menu) in Chapter 16 (Volume 2). Keys 45

46 Wipes Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions A wipe is a transition from the current video stream to a new video stream, using a wipe pattern. Changing the background by means of a wipe is referred to as a background wipe, and inserting or deleting a key with a wipe is termed a key wipe. There are two types of wipe: those that can be selected in a common transition, and those that can be selected in an independent key transition. For details of independent key transitions, see page 26. Types of Wipe Pattern The patterns that can be used for a wipe are divided into a number of groups, as follows. Note that only the standard wipe patterns can be used for an independent key transition. For wipe patterns, see the appendix Wipe Pattern List (Volume 2). Standard wipe patterns Patterns consisting of straight lines vertically, horizontally, or diagonally, and circular patterns. Enhanced wipes More complex shapes such as hearts, stars, and round corners. Rotary wipes These patterns involve rotation of the image about a point. Mosaic wipe pattern This divides the image into small tiles. Random and diamond dust wipe patterns These patterns consist of small random tiles, or fine particles. 46 Wipes

47 Pattern Mix You can create a new pattern by combining two selected patterns (main and sub ). Note It is not possible to apply a pattern mix to an independent key transition. For details, see Pattern Mix (page 240). Types of pattern mix There are four ways in which patterns can be combined in a pattern mix, as follows. Mix: The effect of the sub pattern is applied to the main pattern, modifying the outline or nature of the main pattern. Positive NAM (+Nam): Creates a pattern with an outline which contains all points within the outlines of either of the main pattern and the sub pattern. Negative NAM ( Nam): Creates a pattern with an outline which contains all points within the outlines of both of the main pattern and the sub pattern. Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions Mix Positive NAM Negative NAM Morphing: As the transition progresses, the pattern morphs from the main pattern, through the mix combination, to the sub pattern. Wipes 47

48 Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions Start value Main pattern at 100% Sub pattern at 100% Transition ( ) Mix combination of main and sub patterns already begun Begins with main pattern at 100% Mix begins after transition starts Parameter settings Start: Point in the course of the transition at which the main pattern is at 100% End: Point in the course of the transition at which the sub pattern is at 100% Ends with sub pattern at 100% Transition ends with main and sub patterns still in mix combination Mix ends during transition, which ends with sub pattern at 100% End value A value of 0.00 corresponds to the beginning of the transition, and a value of to the end of the transition. A negative Start value signifies that the main and sub patterns are already combined when the transition starts. An End value of or more signifies that the main and sub patterns are still combined when the transition complete. If the Start and End values are the same, the main and sub patterns are interchanged instantaneously at the corresponding point in the transition. If End is less than Start, as the transition proceeds, it changes from the sub pattern to the main pattern. Dust mix You can apply the effect of a diamond dust wipe to a selected pattern. You can also apply the diamond dust wipe effect to the pattern resulting from a pattern mix. (See Pattern Mix (page 240).) When the pattern mix function is off, turning dust mix on results in the main pattern and the diamond dust pattern being mixed. This state is the same as a pattern mix when the diamond dust pattern is selected for the sub pattern. 48 Wipes

49 Main and sub modifier link function When carrying out a pattern mix, it is possible to link the modifier settings for the main pattern and sub pattern. There are two modes for this function. FULL LINK (fully linked) mode In this mode, all modifier settings are the same for the main pattern and sub pattern. Changing the modifier settings for one pattern automatically changes the settings for the other. SEMI LINK (semi-linked) mode Only the parameter settings of the modifiers are linked. The modifier on/off settings are not linked. When the parameter values for the modifiers of the main pattern and sub pattern are different, then after this link mode is selected, changing the value of a parameter for one pattern changes the value of the parameter for the other pattern to maintain the same difference between the two. Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions Note When carrying out a wipe transition using a pattern mix, it is recommended that you set the modifier link function to FULL LINK mode. If the link function is off, or SEMI LINK mode is selected, the desired effect may not be obtained at the start or end of the transition. Wipe Pattern Variation and Modifiers Direction You can carry out a wipe with the following variations and modifications to the selected pattern. (For details, see Setting Wipe Modifiers (page 242).) You can specify the direction of the wipe: the regular direction is referred to as normal, and the other direction as reverse. You can also select alternating directions each time the transition is completed (normal/reverse mode). Normal Reverse Wipes 49

50 Split This splits the pattern, making the parts of the wipe move in opposite directions. Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions Edge Split off Split on The parameter Split No. specifies the number of splits. The parameter Spacing specifies the spacing between adjacent patterns. You can apply a border to the pattern, soften the edges, or soften the applied border. In an independent key transition, only the Soft setting is available. Border Soft Soft border Border: You can adjust the border width. Soft: You can adjust the edge softness. Soft border: You can adjust the border width, and the softness of the inner and outer edges of the border. When a border or soft border is selected, the signal filling the border is called edge fill. For the edge fill, you can use a matte generated by the dedicated color matte generator, or the signal selected on the utility 2 bus. A matte can include color 1 and color 2, and a combination of the two colors (a color mix ). 50 Wipes

51 Positioner You can move the wipe pattern to any position. Positioner off Positioner on The parameter H Position controls the horizontal position of the pattern. A negative value moves the pattern to the left, and a positive value moves the pattern to the right. The parameter V Position controls the vertical position of the pattern. A negative value moves the pattern down, and a positive value moves the pattern up. Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions Rotation You can rotate the pattern. There are three rotation modes, as follows. Angle This carries out a wipe with the pattern in a fixed angle. Angle off Angle on The parameter Angle determines the angle of pattern rotation. A value of of the parameter Angle corresponds to one whole turn counterclockwise; a value of corresponds to one whole turn clockwise. With a value of 0.00 there is no rotation. Wipes 51

52 Speed Through the course of the transition the wipe pattern rotates at a fixed specified speed. Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions The parameter Speed determines the speed of pattern rotation. A value of of the parameter Speed corresponds to one turn per second counterclockwise; a value of corresponds to one turn per second clockwise. With a value of 0.00 the pattern is stationary. Magnitude Through the course of the transition the wipe pattern rotates through the specified angle. The parameter Angle determines an angle of pattern inclination at the beginning of the transition. A value of corresponds to the angle rotated one whole turn counterclockwise. A value of corresponds to the angle rotated one whole turn clockwise. With a value of 0.00 there is no rotation. The parameter Magnitude determines an angle of pattern rotation through the course of the transition A value of corresponds to a rotation of two turns counterclockwise. A value of corresponds to a rotation of two turns clockwise. With a value of 0.00 the pattern is stationary. 52 Wipes

53 Aspect ratio You can freely change the aspect ratio of the pattern. Aspect off A negative value of the parameter Aspect stretches the pattern vertically; a positive value stretches the pattern horizontally. Pattern replication Multi Aspect on (a horizontal stretch) The same pattern can be repeated horizontally and vertically or both, up to 63 times. You can also change the orientation of alternate copies, or change the position. Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions Multi off Multi on The parameter H Multi determines the number of pattern replications horizontally, and the parameter V Multi determines the number of pattern replications vertically. The parameter Shift determines the manner of replication. At a value of , the pattern of the adjacent odd-numbered column on the left lines up with the central coordinate horizontally. At a value of , the pattern of the adjacent odd-numbered column on the right lines up with the central coordinate horizontally. For an independent key transition wipe, you can use the Invert Type parameter to select from the following four types of replication pattern. Wipes 53

54 Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions Pairing 1: All replications in the same orientation 2: Even-numbered columns and rows inverted 3: Even-numbered columns and rows inverted, and even-numbered rows staggered 4: Even-numbered rows staggered This slits the pattern into multiple strips, making it like a venetian blind. Pairing off Pairing on H: Create slits in the horizontal direction. V: Create slits in the vertical direction. The parameter Width determines the width of the slits. The parameter H Offset determines the spacing in the horizontal direction. If a negative value is set, the even-numbered pairs of strip and slit move to the left, and the odd-numbered pairs move to the right. The value represents the maximum movement. If a positive value is set, the even-numbered pairs of strip and slit move to the right, and the odd-numbered pairs move to the left. The value represents the maximum movement. The parameter V Offset determines the spacing in the vertical direction. If a negative value is set, the even-numbered pairs of strip and slit move upward, and the odd-numbered pairs move downward. The value represents the maximum movement. If a positive value is set, the even-numbered pairs of strip and slit move downward, and the odd-numbered pairs move upward. The value represents the maximum movement. 54 Wipes

55 Modulation The pattern signal can be modulated, giving waves on the horizontal or vertical edges, or radially. The parameter Shape determines the form of the modulation. 1: sine wave, 2: triangular wave, 3: rectangular wave Horizontal modulation This modulates the pattern, applying waviness in the horizontal direction to edges. The parameter Speed determines the speed of waves. A value of generates the maximum downward speed of waves, and a value of the maximum upward speed. Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions Vertical modulation This modulates the pattern, applying waviness in the vertical direction to edges. The parameter Speed determines the speed of waves. A value of generates the maximum leftward speed of waves, and a value of the maximum rightward speed. Fringe This modulates the pattern, applying waviness in the radial direction to edges. Wipes 55

56 The parameter Speed determines the speed of waves. A value of generates the maximum counterclockwise speed of waves, and a value of the maximum clockwise speed. Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions Spring As the transition progresses, the edge of the pattern is subjected to barrel or pincushion distortion. Spring off Spring on A negative parameter value produces pincushion distortion, and a positive value produces barrel distortion. Spiral This deforms the pattern spirally. Spiral off Spiral on The parameter Magnitude determines the size and direction of the spiral. A value of represents the maximum movement in the counterclockwise direction, and a value of represents the maximum movement in the clockwise direction. The parameter Wave Speed determines the speed of the lateral waves. A value of represents the maximum speed to the left, and a value of represents the maximum speed to the right. 56 Wipes

57 DME Wipes A DME wipe is a wipe transition that uses a DME effect to change from one video image to the next. There are two types of DME wipe: those which can be selected for a normal transition, and those which can be selected for an independent key transition. For independent key transitions, see page 26. Note To carry out DME wipes requires the BKDS-9470 DME Board Set. Types of DME Wipe Pattern Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions The patterns used for a DME wipe fall into two broad classes. Preset patterns: predetermined fixed patterns User programmable DME patterns: patterns which you can create using keyframe effects DME wipe execution mode and pattern numbers that can be used There are two DME wipe execution modes, depending on the number of DME channels available: one-channel mode and two-channel mode. The pattern numbers that can be used in these modes are as follows. Execution mode Preset pattern numbers available User programmable DME pattern numbers available One-channel mode 1xxx 1901 to 1999 Two-channel mode 2xxx 2901 to 2999 DME wipe pattern groups The patterns used in DME wipes fall into the following groups. For each group (excluding user programmable DMEs), for schematic patterns and numbers, see the appendix List of DME Wipe Patterns (Volume 2). The black part of the pattern represents the old video, and the white part the new video, with the wipe taking place in the direction of the arrow. DME Wipes 57

58 Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions Slide: The new video slides in over the old video. (Pattern numbers: 1001 to 1008 (one-channel mode), 2601 to 2608 (twochannel mode)) Split: The old video splits, and the new video appears in the gap. (Pattern numbers: 1011 to 1013 (one-channel mode)) Squeeze: The new video appears squeezed over the old video, and progressively expands to cover it. (Pattern numbers: 1021 to 1031 (one-channel mode), 2621 (two-channel mode)) Door: The new video moves like a door closing, and progressively covers the old video. (Pattern numbers: 1041 to 1044 (one-channel mode)) Flip tumble: The old video rotates about an axis and is replaced by the new video. (Pattern numbers: 1101 to 1102 (one-channel mode)) Page turn: The old video moves like a page turning, and the new video appears behind it. (Pattern numbers: 1301 to 1313 (one-channel mode)) Page roll: The new video unrolls like a scroll over the old video. This is a type of page turn. (Pattern numbers: 1321 to 1333 (one-channel mode)) User programmable DME: Using a DME keyframe created with a keyframe operation, this executes a DME wipe. (Pattern numbers: 1901 to 1999 (one-channel mode), 2901 to 2999 (twochannel mode)) For details of creating keyframe effects, see Creating User Programmable DME Patterns (page 59). Note Note that for an independent key transition, only the slide, split, squeeze, door, and user programmable DME patterns are available. Signals forming part of the background for a DME wipe In two-channel mode, or flip tumble and so on, in addition to the signals on the A and B buses, a background signal may be visible. This background is normally supplied by the UTIL2 bus signal. DME Wipe Pattern Variation and Modifiers You can modify the selected DME wipe pattern in the same way as an ordinary wipe pattern, as follows. 58 DME Wipes

59 For the setting operations, see Setting DME Wipe Modifiers (page 261). Direction: You can set the DME wipe direction to normal, reverse, or alternating normal/reverse (page 49), except for a key transition, which is always in normal/reverse mode. Border: You can apply a border or soft border (see page 50), except for DME wipes in the independent key transition control block with which this modifier cannot be used. In the case of a user programmable DME pattern in which a border has already been applied to the effect, the behavior is as follows. When the DME wipe border setting is ON, only part of the border applied in the effect is enabled, and that portion can be adjusted. When the DME wipe border setting is OFF, the border applied in the effect is enabled as is. Positioner: This can only be used when pattern number 1031 (squeeze) is selected. With the progress of the transition, the center of the pattern automatically moves from its initially set position toward the center of the image (see page 51). That is to say, the same effect is obtained as in a normal wipe when the positioner is set to AUTO CENTER. Pattern limit: You can restrict the range of the transition as desired. However, this is not available for a DME wipe in the independent key transition control block. Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions For more details, see Pattern Limit (page 189). Creating User Programmable DME Patterns With a user programmable DME, you can use DME effects created through the use of keyframes for a transition on the switcher system. Note the following points when creating a keyframe effect for use as a user programmable DME pattern. Register numbers and pattern numbers When saving a keyframe effect as a user programmable DME pattern, specify the register number that corresponds to the pattern number as shown in the following table. Execution mode Register number Pattern number One-channel mode 101 to to 1999 Two-channel mode 201 to to 2999 For details of registers and key frame effects, see Registers (page 106) and Chapter 13 Keyframe Effects (Volume 2), respectively. DME Wipes 59

60 Keyframe effects in the global channel When the effect with the same number as the reference channel is present on the DME global (GLBL) channel, executing the user programmable DME will also execute the effect on the global channel simultaneously. When executing a user programmable DME, take note of whether the effect is present on the global channel. Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions Sizes of first and last keyframes Either create the first keyframe outside the screen, or specify its size as zero, so that it cannot be seen on the screen. For a key transition, the key is not inserted. Make the last keyframe the full screen size. For a key transition, the key is inserted. Relation Between DME Wipes and Other Effects The relations between DME wipes and other effects are as follows. Relation to ordinary wipes DME wipes do not use the wipe generator built into the switcher. Therefore, during the execution of a DME wipe, you can still use a pattern produced by the wipe generator as the source for a pattern key or mask. A DME wipe pattern cannot be used as the source for a pattern key or mask. Relation to processed keys When using the DME for a processed key, if you select a DME wipe, an available DME is automatically allocated to the DME wipe. If all of the DME channels are in use, then it is not possible to select a DME wipe. Number of DME wipes that can be used simultaneously on a single M/E bank DME wipes can be used in five places, including the four independent key transitions, but a maximum of two can be used simultaneously. 60 DME Wipes

61 Frame Memory Overview Frame memory is a function whereby a frame of input video can be frozen and written to memory, for further use as material for editing. The memory capacity for freeze images is a maximum of 222 frames. For details of operations, see Frame Memory Operations (page 266). Use of frame memory There are eight frame memory channels, FM1 to FM8, and each channel independently allows a freeze image to be saved or recalled. By allocating FM1 to FM8 to cross-point buttons you can use the freeze image output from each channel as input material. Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions Correspondence between input and output There are two buses for capturing frame memory material: the frame memory source 1 bus and the frame memory source 2 bus. These input buses are used by allocation to one of the pairs of output, FM1&2, FM3&4, FM5&6, and FM7&8. You can freeze a frame in each channel separately, or freeze in the two channels simultaneously. The source buses allocated to FM1 to FM8 are as follows. Input Frame memory source bus 1 Frame memory source bus 2 Output FM1 FM2 FM3 FM4 FM5 FM6 FM7 FM8 Pair setting By enabling the pair setting, you can link FM1 and FM2, FM3 and FM4, FM5 and FM6, and FM7 and FM8. For example, when a freeze or image processing is carried out on FM1, the same operation is carried out on FM2. The same applies to the other pairs. Frame Memory 61

62 Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions Operation modes The frame memory has the following operating mode. V/K mode: When a pair setting is active, the key signal is automatically selected on frame memory source bus 2. This is convenient for handling the video and key signals together in frame memory. For example, when you select a video signal on frame memory source bus 1, the key signal assigned to it is automatically selected on frame memory source bus 2. You can also use the signal automatically selected on frame memory source bus 2 as a key signal when processing keyframe memory 1. To change the pair setting or operating mode, use the Frame Memory menu. Frame Memory Functions The frame memory provides the following functions. Capturing an image Saving an image Recalling an image Processing an image Image output Image data management Image data transfer Capturing an image (freeze) As the input material for the frame memory, you can use the signal selected on the frame memory source bus. For this signal you can use video processing (video levels or hue value adjustment) or masking. Allocating a frame memory source bus signal to one of FM1 to FM8, then carrying out a freeze captures a still image in the corresponding frame memory output image, and saves it in temporary memory. For a freeze, an image can be captured either as video frame (a frame freeze ) or a video field ( field freeze ). Note If you use a mask, only a frame freeze is available. Saving an image (store) You can save an image in temporary memory which has been placed with the freeze function as a file in memory. You can save a single image in a single file. 62 Frame Memory

63 Recalling an image You can apply a name of up to eight characters to the file. You can recall an image file saved in memory, and allocate to any of the FM1 to FM8 outputs. Processing an image You can process the memory image allocated to any of FM1 to FM8, or an image placed in temporary memory by a freeze. At this time, the signal output to the monitor screen can be switched between the signal input to the frame memory and the signal output from the frame memory. The following types of processing are available. Pattern key: Using the signal from a dedicated pattern generator, you can cut out the memory image and insert the signal selected on the frame memory source bus or a color matte signal. You can adjust the size and position of the pattern, and add modifiers. External key: When processing an image in FM1 (3, 5, 7), you can use the signal selected on the frame memory source bus 2 to cut out the memory image, and fill with the signal selected on the frame memory source bus 1, or a color matte signal. When processing an image in FM2 (4, 6, 8), you can use the signal selected on the frame memory source bus 2 to cut out the memory image, and fill with a color matte signal (always white). Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions Note An external key can only be used in V/K mode (see page 62). MIX: Mix the memory image with the signal selected on the frame memory source bus or color matte signal. The mix ratio can be set. Note When Sub Mask is on in the Input Mask menu, selecting a pattern key, external key or mix turns Sub Mask off. Again, when any of these is selected, turning Sub Mask on turns the video processing function off. NAM: Non-additive mix the memory image with the signal selected on the frame memory source bus or color matte signal. Frame Memory 63

64 Image output Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions Moving the output image (reposition function) For up to two channels of FM1 to FM8, you can move the output image with respect to the screen. The area of the screen around the image that has been move is filled with black. There are two ways of carrying out this repositioning. Normal mode: Movement in the horizontal direction is in two-pixel increments. Black and white mode: Movement in the horizontal direction is in one-pixel increments, and for each pixel moved the color is inverted. Note It is not possible to save an image moved with the reposition function directly to frame memory. Fixing the output image selection (lock function) For the output of each of FM1 to FM8, this fixes the image at the current output. When this lock is enabled, even if the output is recalled in a snapshot or keyframe, the images output to FM1 to FM8 are preserved. Image data management File management The following operations are possible on files created to hold images. Delete: Specify a file to be deleted. It is also possible to delete all files simultaneously in a single operation. Rename file: Change the name of the specified file. Image data transfer Files can be transferred to a hard disk, memory card, or similar device connected through the USB connector. In the File menu, files can be saved and recalled. For details, see Chapter 17 Files (Volume 2). 64 Frame Memory

65 Color Backgrounds The dedicated generators generate color signals, and these can be used as color backgrounds in video effects. Color background selection There are two color backgrounds, color background 1 and color background 2, which you use by assigning to cross-point buttons. Color combinations ( color mix ) The color generators can output the result of combining two colors, which are color 1 and color 2. Using a pattern from a dedicated pattern generator, color 1 and color 2 can be combined in the boundary region, forming a color gradation. This is referred to in the menu system as color mix. You can also apply modifiers to the selected pattern. When the color mix function is not used, the result is a flat color, and color 1 is always output. Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions For details of operations, see Color Background Setting Operations (page 282). Color Backgrounds 65

69 Video Process The term video process is applied to adjustments to the luminance and hue of the input video signal. There are two types of adjustment, depending on the application: Adjustment of an individual primary input signal Image effects on a particular bus Note These types of adjustment may be carried out independently. However, since they are implemented by the same hardware, if the same signal is subjected to processing twice, there may be limitations on the range of effects obtained in the final result. Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions Video Process Adjustment of a Primary Input Signal For each primary input, you can switch video process adjustments on or off, and can adjust the parameters (Video Gain, Y Gain, C Gain, Hue Delay, and Black Level) in the Setup menu. The adjustments do not, however, apply to the output video on the MON (monitor) bus. For details of the settings, see Signal Input Settings in Chapter 16 (Volume 2). Video Process Adjustments on a Particular Bus Buses to which the adjustments apply For each of the following buses, you can switch video process adjustments on or off, and adjust the parameters. Following buses in the M/E-1 and PGM/PST banks - Key fill buses for keys 1 to 4 - Background A and background B buses - Utility 1 and utility 2 buses Frame memory source 1 and frame memory source 2 buses Aux buses These settings also apply to keyframes and snapshots. Video Process 69

70 Making the adjustments Adjust VIDEO GAIN, Y GAIN, BLACK LEVEL, C GAIN, and HUE DELAY in the following menus. Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions Applicable bus Menu used for operation See page M/E-1 bank Key fill buses for keys M/E-1 menu page to 4 background A and B Video Process menu page 292 buses Utility 1 and 2 buses PGM/PST bank Key fill buses for PGM/PST menu page 223 DSK1 to DSK4 Background A and B Video Process menu page 292 buses Utility 1 and 2 buses Frame memory source 1 and 2 buses Frame Memory menu page 269 Aux buses AUX/MON menu page 291 Video Process Memory When using video process adjustments for an image effect on a bus, this function saves the final values for each pair number for the signals. The video process on/off setting is not saved. When you change the adjustments the values are automatically saved, and these last values are recalled when the pair number is selected. In other words, by switching video process memory on, regardless of the video process information for each bus, you can carry out video process adjustments for each input signal. The parameters saved are as follows. VIDEO GAIN, Y GAIN, BLACK LEVEL, C GAIN, HUE DELAY Switch the video process memory on or off in the Setup menu. For details of setting operations, see Settings Relating to Keys, Wipes and Frame Memory (Key/Wipe/FM Menu) in Chapter 16 (Volume 2). 70 Video Process

71 Digital Multi Effects (DME) DME allows you to add three-dimensional effects such as image movement, rotation, magnification and shrinking, as well as a wide variety of special effects. DME is the general name for all of these effects. Each channel can be used on its own or in combination with other channels, which allows you to create advanced effects with more complexity. Note To use DME requires the BKDS-9470 DME Board Set. Three-Dimensional Transformations Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions Transformation is the process of placing a video image in a three-dimensional DME coordinate space and subjecting it to manipulations such as movement, rotation, magnification or shrinking. Three-dimensional coordinate space Source coordinate space and target coordinate space Images are placed in one of two types of coordinate space: source coordinate space and target coordinate space. The source coordinate space is a three-dimensional coordinate space with reference to the image itself. The x- and y-axes are defined parallel to the plane of the image, and the z-axis is defined perpendicular to the plane of the image. When you move the image, the coordinate axes also move. The target coordinate space is a three-dimensional coordinate space with reference to the output monitor screen. The x- and y-axes are defined parallel to the plane of the monitor screen, and the z-axis is defined perpendicular to Digital Multi Effects (DME) 71

72 the plane of the monitor screen. The coordinates do not move even if the image moves. Y Z Y Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions X Source coordinate space Source coordinate space and target coordinate space For example, as shown below, the image moves in a different direction when you move it along the x-axis of the source coordinate space and along the x- axis of the target coordinate space. Z Target coordinate space X Source coordinate space Target coordinate space Movement along the x-axes of the source coordinate space and target coordinate space Local coordinate space and global coordinate space The coordinates of an individual DME channel are called its local coordinate space. The coordinates common to all channels are called the global coordinate space. By switching from local to global coordinate space, you can add new movement to the movement of images in individual channels, and also apply transformation effects to multiple channels that have been combined by Global effects (page 98). 72 Digital Multi Effects (DME)

73 Rotation around y-axis in local coordinate space Rotation around y-axis in global coordinate space Three-dimensional parameters Local coordinate space and global coordinate space Three-dimensional parameters are x, y, and z values which define the position of an image, its axis of rotation, the position of an imaginary point of view on the image, and so on. The standard values of parameters are as shown below, depending on the aspect ratio of your monitor (4:3 or 16:9). Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions Values for 4:3 mode Origin at center of image (source coordinate space) or center of monitor (target coordinate space) x = 0.00, y = 0.00, z = 0.00 Upper right corner of image or monitor x = 4.00, y = 3.00, z = 0.00 Digital Multi Effects (DME) 73

74 Lower left corner of image or monitor x = 4.00, y = 3.00, z = 0.00 y-axis +3 z-axis + Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions x-axis 4 z-axis 3 y-axis +4 x-axis The plus direction on the z-axis is depth into the image or monitor screen. Values for x-, y-, and z-axes (4:3 mode) Values for 16:9 mode Origin at center of image (source coordinate space) or center of monitor (target coordinate space) x = 0.00, y = 0.00, z = 0.00 Upper right corner of image or monitor x = 4.00, y = 2.25, z = 0.00 Lower left corner of image or monitor x = 4.00, y = 2.25, z = 0.00 y-axis z-axis + x-axis x-axis z-axis The plus direction on the z-axis is depth into the image or monitor screen y-axis 74 Digital Multi Effects (DME)

75 Values for x-, y- and z-axes (16:9 mode) Limits of three-dimensional parameters The following table shows the limits of three-dimensional transformation parameters. The three-dimensional parameters of an image change when you use the trackball or Z-ring to execute a transformation. You can also execute a transformation by entering parameter values from the numeric keypad control block. Operation mode Limits of three-dimensional transformation parameters Location XYZ to Rotation, Spin to Axis Location to Location Size to Aspect to Perspective Perspective (x, y) to Perspective (z) to Skew to Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions Detents The system defines points called detents at regular intervals on the threedimensional space. Pressing the [CTR] button in the device control block sets the current three-dimensional parameter values to the closest detent points. (For details, see Three-Dimensional Transformation Operations in Chapter 11 (Volume 2).) The following table shows the interval between successive detents for each transformation operation mode (see page 76). Operation mode Detent interval Location XYZ 1.00 Rotation, Spin 0.25 Axis Location 1.00 Location Size 0.25 Aspect 1.00 a) Perspective (x, y) Perspective (z) a) Skew 0.10 Digital Multi Effects (DME) 75

76 a) When a value is smaller than 1, 1/Aspect or 1/Perspective (z) is adjusted to an integral value. Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions Three-dimensional parameter default values Each of the transformation operation modes has default values for threedimensional parameters. If required, you can return the current value to the defaults by pressing the [CTR] button in the device control block twice in rapid succession. (For details, see Three-Dimensional Transformation Operations in Chapter 11 (Volume 2).) The following table shows the default parameter values for each transformation operation mode. Operation mode Default value Location XYZ 0.00 Rotation, Spin 0.00 Axis Location 0.00 Location Size 1.00 Aspect 1.00 Perspective (x, y) Perspective (z) Skew 0.00 Resetting of parameter values set in the source coordinate space In some transformation operation modes, if you switch to the target coordinate space after setting up a three-dimensional transformation in the source coordinate space, the setting values in the source coordinate space (threedimensional parameter values) are converted to values in the target coordinate space (source/target conversion). Once a conversion has taken place, the original source coordinate space parameters do not return to their original values when you switch back to the source coordinate space. They are reset to zeros. Source/target conversion occurs in the following operation modes: Location XYZ Rotation Transformation Operation Modes The following operation modes are available for three-dimensional DME transformations. These operations are carried out in the device control block. (For details, see Three-Dimensional Transformation Operations in Chapter 11 (Volume 2).) 76 Digital Multi Effects (DME)

77 Location XYZ Moves the image on the x-axis, y-axis, or z-axis. The direction of movement differs depending on whether you are manipulating the image in the source coordinate space or the target coordinate space. Image movement in the source coordinate space Movement on the x-axis Movement on the y-axis Movement on the z-axis Image movement in the target coordinate space Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions Movement on the x-axis Movement on the y-axis Movement on the z-axis Rotation Rotates the image on the x-axis, y-axis, or z-axis. The type of rotation differs depending on whether you are manipulating the image in the source coordinate space or the target coordinate space. Digital Multi Effects (DME) 77

78 Image rotation in the source coordinate space Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions Rotation around the y-axis Rotation around the x-axis Rotation around the z-axis Image rotation in the target coordinate space Rotation around the y-axis Rotation around the x-axis Rotation around the z-axis Spin When rotating the image in Rotation mode, it may not always be possible to achieve the kind of rotation around an axis that you want. Combining Rotation mode with Spin mode creates an effect that rotates the image around a specified axis. The type of rotation differs depending on whether you are manipulating the image in the source coordinate space or the target coordinate space. (The way the image rotates around an axis is the same as in Rotation mode.) Axis Location Moves an axis of rotation in the source coordinate space. 78 Digital Multi Effects (DME)

79 Axis movement Z Y Z' Y' Z' Z Y X X Y' X' Location Size Movement on the x-axis Movement on the y-axis Movement on the z-axis Changes the size of the whole image. Because shrinking and magnification of the image in the source coordinate space is done in three-dimensional space, magnifying the image emphasizes the sense of perspective. Because shrinking and magnification of the image in the target coordinate space is a conversion of the two-dimensional image displayed on the monitor, shrinking and magnification does not change the shape of the image. X' Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions Magnification and shrinking in the source coordinate space Magnification and shrinking in the target coordinate space Digital Multi Effects (DME) 79

80 Aspect In the source coordinate space, changes the aspect ratio in the x-direction and y-direction, either independently or simultaneously. Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions Perspective Change of aspect ratio in x-direction Change of aspect ratio in y- direction Simultaneous change aspect ratio in x-direction and y-direction In the target coordinate space, changes the perspective on the image by changing an imaginary view point, without changing the position of the image. The x-axis and y-axis values define the position of the view point. The z-axis value defines its distance from the image. Change of view point on x-axis Change of view point on y- axis Change of distance from view point to image 80 Digital Multi Effects (DME)

81 Skew In the source coordinate space, change the skew of the image on the x-axis or y-axis. Graphics Display Change of skew on x-axis Change of skew on y-axis Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions Graphics display is a function that allows you to display wire frames, coordinate axes and a grid over the current DME image, to make it easier to create effects in three-dimensional coordinate space. To make graphics display settings, use the DME menu. (For details, see Graphics Display in Chapter 11 (Volume 2).) You can display the following kinds of graphics. Wire frames A wire frame displays an image enclosed in a frames, so that you can check the position and size of the image. If there is a shadow (see page 101), a frame is shown for the shadow as well. Coordinate axes This is a three-dimensional display of coordinates in local or global coordinate space. You can check the origin of the axes and the directions of the x-, y-, and z-axes. Channel ID This displays the channel number so that you can check which channel you are using, a useful feature when you are working with multiple channels. Channel IDs are displayed differently in local and global coordinate space. In local coordinate space, the channel number is displayed along with F or B to indicate whether you are looking at the front (F) or back (B) of the current wire frame. For example, 1F means the front of the wire frame on channel 1 in local coordinate space. Digital Multi Effects (DME) 81

82 In global coordinate space, the channel number is displayed along with G to indicate global. For example, G2 means channel 2 in global coordinate space. Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions Wire frame Z Y 1F X Wire frame, local coordinate space axes, and channel ID Local coordinate space axes Channel ID Grid This is a grid pattern representing the whole of the monitor screen. The grid makes it easy to set the position of an image in two-dimensional coordinates Grid (4:3 mode) Shrinking the graphics display You can shrink the graphics display so that you can see beyond the range displayed on the normal monitor screen. This makes it possible to visually set the location of images in a larger space. The range displayed on a normal monitor screen is indicated by a frame. 82 Digital Multi Effects (DME)

83 Range displayed on normal monitor screen Wire frame To automatically erase the graphic display Turn Auto Erase on. The graphic display is erased automatically whenever a keyframe is executed. It is displayed again after the keyframe ends, after the time set in Recovery Time. Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions DME Special Effects You can use DME to add a variety of special effects. To add effects, use the DME menu. (See DME Special Effect Operations in Chapter 11 (Volume 2).) Border This effect adds a border to the image frame. You can adjust the width (or thickness) of the border, its color, and the softness of the border edges. Digital Multi Effects (DME) 83

84 Crop This effect crops away the edges of the image. You can crop the top, bottom, left, and right sides individually or all together. You can also soften the cropped edges. Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions Defocus Defocuses the whole image. The degree of defocusing can be set separately for video signals and key signals. You can also cancel the black level leaking that occurs at the edge of the screen when the Defocus effect is used. Blur Applies a rounded blurring to the whole image. 84 Digital Multi Effects (DME)

85 Multi Move Shrinks the image and lines up a number of copies vertically and horizontally. You can specify the center point of the shrinking, the shrinking ratio, and the aspect ratio of the image screen. Sepia Overlays a specified color onto the image. You can adjust the sepia color that is overlaid, and specify the degree of mixing between the original image and the sepia image. Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions Mono Converts the image into a monochrome image. Posterization Solarization Coarsens the luminance gradations of the image, for a painting-like effect. You can specify the degree of luminance coarsening. Like the Posterization effect, creates a painting-like effect, but does so by coarsening the chroma gradations of the image. You can specify the degree of chroma coarsening. Digital Multi Effects (DME) 85

86 Nega Reverses the luminance and/or chroma of the image. Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions Contrast Mosaic Changes the contrast of the luminance and/or chroma of the image. Divides the image into small tiles so that it looks like a mosaic. You can specify the size and aspect ratio of the tiles. Freeze Freezes the input video. The following types are available: Hard Freeze: Freezes the input video at an arbitrary timing. Time Strobe: Freezes the input video at specified intervals for a specified length. Film: Slows the apparent frame rate, for an effect like film. You can specify the ratio of advancement. In all of these effects, video and key signals can be frozen separately. For Hard Freeze and Time Strobe, you can select the first field or the frame as the freeze timing. 86 Digital Multi Effects (DME)

87 . Nonlinear Effects You can add a variety of effects, including effects that change the shape of the image as a whole. The following nonlinear effects are available. For more information about settings and operations with nonlinear effects, see Nonlinear Effect Settings in Chapter 11 (Volume 2). Note It is not possible to apply two or more nonlinear effects at the same time. Turning any nonlinear effect on automatically turns all other nonlinear effects off. Wave Produces a wave-like effect in the image. There are two modes: H&V and Size. You can set the size and frequency of the waves, the wave form, the amount of wave movement, and the range.

You can select the degree of change detection. Detect changes in the luminance signal separately, and switch automatically between fields and frames. You can select the degree of change detection. Do interpolation in field units. Do interpolation in frame units. For input key signals, you can select from the following three methods. Detect changes in the luminance signal separately, and switch automatically between fields and frames. You can select the degree of change detection. Do interpolation in field units. Do interpolation in frame units. You can also select the number of pixels used in interpolation processing, and select the method used to show the picture reduced or expanded. Global Effects Global effects are special effects created by combining the images of successive channels. The Global Effect menu is used to add these effects. Digital Multi Effects (DME) 97

98 For details of this menu, see Global Effect Operations in Chapter 11 (Volume 2). The following types of global effects are available. Combiner Brick Shadow Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions Combiner When multiple channels are selected on one keyer or for one transition, the Combiner automatically combines the selected images. Up to three channels can be combined. You can also control the way in which the combination is carried out, as a mix or an overlap with priority set automatically. For a mix, you can control the relative amounts of each channel. Combination of channel 1 (Ch1) and channel 2 (Ch2) Ch1 Ch2 1 2 Combiner Ch1 1 2 Ch3 3 Ch3 3 Ch4 4 Ch Digital Multi Effects (DME)

103 External Devices In the DVS-9000 system, you can operate while controlling the following types of external device: Devices supporting P-BUS (Peripheral II protocol) (referred to as P-BUS devices in the manual) VTRs The following is an outline of external device control. For external device control operations, see Chapter 12 External Devices (Volume 2). Shared Functions for External Device Control Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions Keyframe functions There are 99 registers, numbered 1 to 99, holding control data for P-BUS devices. The following are the keyframe functions that can be used, for each type of device. P-BUS devices RECALL (1-99), STORE (1-99), RECALL UNDO, STORE UNDO, empty register search, AUTO SAVE, RECALL MODE (RECALL, RECALL & REWIND) EDIT ENABLE, EDIT UNDO CONST DUR, EFF DUR, KF DUR, DELAY, PAUSE, INSERT BEFORE, INSERT AFTER, MODIFY, DELETE, COPY, PASTE BEFORE, PASTE AFTER, FROM TO, ALL PREV KF, NEXT KF, GOTO TC, GOTO KF, RUN, REWIND, FF, STOP NEXT KF, EFFECT LOOP, NORMAL, REVERSE, NORMAL/ REVERSE, JOG, KF FADER Note Actions set in a keyframe are executed only when the keyframe effect is executed in the normal direction. The following keyframe functions cannot be used on P-BUS devices. KF LOOP PATH External Devices 103

104 VTRs RECALL (1-99), STORE (1-99), empty register search, RECALL MODE (RECALL, RECALL & REWIND) RUN, REWIND Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions Saving to registers Set the data for controlling external devices in the Device menu. You can save the set data in keyframe, snapshot, or shot box registers. You can recall the register in which the data is saved, and carry out operations on it with the keyframe control block. For details, see Chapter 12 External Devices (Volume 2). Register manipulation functions You can carry out the following operations on the control registers in which the data for P-BUS devices or VTRs is saved. Copy Move Swap Merge (this cannot be carried out for registers of VTR control data.) Lock Name File related functions As effect data, you can save and recall, using the File menu. Control of P-BUS Devices You can control P-BUS devices from the DVS-9000 system through the 9-pin serial port of a DCU-8000 Device Control Unit. P-BUS device control modes There are two modes of P-BUS device control, as follows. P-BUS trigger mode: Operating a previously specified button outputs the command for an action assigned to that button. P-BUS timeline mode: Carrying out a keyframe effect under the control of the center control panel controls external devices. In the setup, select which of P-BUS trigger mode and P-BUS timeline mode to use. 104 External Devices

105 P-BUS trigger mode actions The actions that can be used in P-BUS trigger mode are as follows. Store Recall Trigger For details of the buttons assigned to each action, see Chapter 12, External Devices (Volume 2). P-BUS timeline mode actions The actions that can be used in P-BUS timeline mode are as follows. Use the Device menu to set the actions. Store Recall Trigger P-BUS timeline editing At a keyframe point on the P-BUS timeline, you can set an action (setting what action command is output to which device). At any single keyframe point you can set actions for a maximum of 24 devices. For the action setting (or P-BUS timeline editing), use the Device menu. You can save the data set in the Device menu in keyframe registers. Recalling the register starts execution of the keyframe effect, and when this reaches the keyframe point at which actions are set, action commands are output to external devices through the 9-pin serial port assigned to P-BUS. Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions For details, see External Devices in Chapter 12 (Volume 2). External Devices 105

106 Regions and Registers Regions Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions The term region refers to some sort of functional unit of the system. When saving or recalling snapshot registers and effect registers, or creating or editing effects, you first select the region to which the operation applies. You can also select multiple regions simultaneously. Classification of the regions There are a total of 10 regions. Switcher: M/E1, PGM/PST, USER1, and USER2 DME: DME1 to DME4 External devices: P-BUS and GPI Regions applicable to keyframe operations All of the above regions Regions applicable to snapshot operations Eight regions, that is, the above 10 regions less the two regions for external devices USER regions The precise significance of the regions USER1 and USER2 is as follows. USER1: Color backgrounds 1 and 2 USER2: AUX buses Reference region When multiple regions are selected, only one region appears in the displays for menu and numeric keypad operations. This is called the reference region. The reference region is determined according to the following precedence. M/E1 >P/P >USER1 > USER2 > DME1> DME2 > DME3 > DME4 > P-BUS > GPI Registers A register is an area of memory in a device which holds a snapshot, keyframe, and so on. 106 Regions and Registers

107 Keyframe effect registers Dedicated effect registers There are 99 dedicated registers for keyframe effects in each region, numbered 1 to 99. Shared user-programmable DME registers In addition to the 99 DME registers for each region (i.e. each channel), there are also shared registers for each processor as shown in the following table. These are used for user-programmable DME. Register number Register allocation 101 to 199 Shared register for one-channel effects 201 to 299 Shared register for two-channel effects 301 to 399 Shared register for three-channel effects Note When operating with these shared registers, be sure to select the appropriate regions depending on the number of channels. When recalling registers in the 200 range or 300 range, select two consecutive channels for the regions, as for example [DME1] and [DME2]. Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions Snapshot registers Work register This is a temporary register used when editing keyframes. When you recall an effect, it is read from the effect register into the work register, and when you save, the contents of the work register are written to the effect register. These are registers for snapshots, and there are 99, numbered 1 to 99 for each region. Regions and Registers 107

108 Keyframes A keyframe represents an instantaneous state of an image; it can be saved and recalled for reuse. Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions Effects By arranging a number of keyframes on the time axis, and interpolating between successive keyframes, you can create an effect in which there is a continuous change from each keyframe to the next. The figure below shows three keyframes created with a wipe pattern (the circle) in different positions. This is interpolated to create the effect shown. Background A Background B Interpolated images Keyframe 1 Keyframe 2 Keyframe 3 Effect execution Example of keyframes and effect execution You can save the sequence of keyframes representing a single effect in a register. Then by recalling this register, you can replay the same effect. For details of keyframe effect registers, see Regions and Registers (page 106). 108 Keyframes

109 Saving and Recalling Effects Effect Editing To create a new effect, first recall an empty register, then create the keyframes one at a time in this register. To run an effect, it is also necessary to set the time and the path. To edit an existing effect, recall the register holding the effect, then make the changes. When you have finished creating or editing the effect, save it in the recalled register or another specified register. Auto save function When you recall an effect, the currently recalled effect is automatically saved in a register. This is called the auto save function. You can disable this function in a Setup menu. Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions For editing operations such as to insert, delete, or modify a keyframe, it is necessary to stop the effect at the corresponding point on the time axis. This is termed an edit point. You can edit either on a keyframe within the effect, or at any point between keyframes. Insert: Insert the current image as a keyframe. Inserting a keyframe in an existing effect may change the duration of the effect (see page 111). Modify: Modify a keyframe. You can modify a single keyframe or a range of keyframes in the effect together. Delete: Delete a keyframe. You can delete a single keyframe or a range of keyframes in the effect together. Deleting keyframes from an effect reduces the duration of the effect (see page 112). After deleting a keyframe, you can reinsert the keyframe with a paste operation. Copy: Copy a keyframe. You can copy a single keyframe or a range of keyframes in the effect together. Paste: Paste the keyframe last copied or deleted anywhere within the effect. Pause: You can set a pause on a particular keyframe, so that when the effect is run it pauses on this keyframe. You can make this setting on any number of keyframes. To restart the paused effect, repeat the operation to run the effect. Undo an edit operation: Undo the effect of the last operation to insert, modify, delete, or paste a keyframe. Keyframes 109

110 Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions Duration modes In keyframe editing, there are two duration modes; switch between them in the keyframe operation section. (See Time Settings in Chapter 13 (Volume 2).) Variable duration mode: In this mode, inserting or deleting a keyframe increases or reduces the duration. Constant duration mode: In this mode, inserting or deleting a keyframe does not change the duration. This is useful for keyframe editing of an effect with a fixed duration. In the variable and constant duration modes, the keyframes to which a modify operation applies, and the effect of a paste operation are different. Difference in keyframes to which a modify operation applies Effect position Variable duration mode Constant duration mode On a keyframe Applies to currently Applies to currently selected keyframe selected keyframe Between two keyframes Applies to previous keyframe Modify operation not possible a) a) A new keyframe is inserted at the effect position. Difference in the effect of a paste operation Variable duration mode: The copied keyframe is inserted at the specified position. Constant duration mode: The copied keyframe is written over the specified position. Time Settings Keyframe duration and effect duration You can determine the execution time of an effect by setting either the keyframe durations or the effect duration. Keyframe duration: This is the time from the keyframe to the next keyframe. You can set this time in the keyframe control block. (See Time Settings in Chapter 13 (Volume 2).) In constant duration mode (see page 110), it is not possible to change the keyframe duration setting. Effect duration: This is the total execution time of the effect, from the first keyframe to the last. You can set this time in the keyframe control block. (See Time Settings in Chapter 13 (Volume 2).) 110 Keyframes

111 When you change the effect duration, the keyframe duration for each keyframe in the effect is automatically recalculated proportionally. Keyframe duration Keyframe number Effect duration Schematic view of keyframe duration and effect duration The effect duration may also be changed by inserting or deleting keyframes. Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions Changes in the effect duration caused by inserting a keyframe When the effect is stopped on a keyframe, inserting a keyframe increases the effect duration by the duration of the inserted keyframe. When the effect is stopped between two keyframes, inserting a keyframe does not change the effect duration. Note In constant duration mode (see page 110), the duration of the current keyframe is reduced to zero, and the new keyframe is inserted with the previous duration of the current keyframe. Thus the effect duration does not change. Insertion position Insertion before the first keyframe Change in effect duration Insertion between two keyframes Keyframes 111

112 Insertion position Insertion at an existing keyframe Change in effect duration Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions Insertion at the last keyframe Keyframe insertion position and the change in effect duration Changes in the effect duration caused by deleting a keyframe When the effect is stopped on a keyframe, a delete operation deletes the keyframe, and reduces the effect duration by the duration of the deleted keyframe. When the effect is stopped between two keyframes, a delete operation deletes the preceding keyframe, and reduces the effect duration by the duration of the deleted keyframe. Note In constant duration mode (see page 110), the duration of the keyframe before the deleted keyframe is increased by the duration of the deleted keyframe. Thus the effect duration does not change. Deletion position Deletion of the first keyframe Change in effect duration Deletion of an intermediate keyframe Keyframes

113 Deletion position Deletion between two keyframes Change in effect duration Delay setting Deletion of the last keyframe Keyframe deletion position and the change in effect duration You can set the delay from the time of executing an operation to run the effect, and the effect actually starting (that is, the delay until the first keyframe). You can make this setting in the keyframe control block. (See Time Settings in Chapter 13 (Volume 2).) Note that changing the delay does not alter the duration of the effect. Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions Paths The term path refers to the specification of how interpolation is carried out from one keyframe to the next. For details of the path setting procedure, see Chapter 13 Path Settings (Volume 2). Switcher path settings Carry out path settings in the Key Frame menu. For each menu, the following settings are available. M/E-1 and P/P menus Item M/E1, P/P All Paths that can be set For each of M/E and PGM/PST, path settings for the following items are made simultaneously. Keyframes 113

Path for background Path for front/back Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions Types of path Path types for Curve There are five types, as follows. OFF: Executing the effect causes no change. Step: There is no interpolation between keyframes, so that the effect parameters are updated each time a keyframe is passed. Linear: Linear interpolation between keyframes, resulting in constant speed movement. S-Curve: The rate of change accelerates and decelerates before and after a keyframe, so that the rate of change is maximum midway between two keyframes. Spline: The effect follows a smooth curved path from each keyframe to the next. Path types for Hue There are four types, as follows. CW: The hue changes in a clockwise direction as seen on a Vectorscope. CCW: The hue changes in a counterclockwise direction as seen on a Vectorscope. Short: The hue changes in whichever of the clockwise and counterclockwise directions is shorter. Keyframes 117

118 Long: The hue changes in whichever of the clockwise and counterclockwise directions is longer. Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions Effect Execution Path types for Xpt There are two types, as follows. Xpt Hold off: When replaying a keyframe, change the inputs to the settings saved in memory. Xpt Hold on: When replaying a keyframe, do not change the inputs. By pressing the [RUN] button in the keyframe control block, you can replay the effect as a continuous sequence of images. This is referred to as effect execution. It is also possible to execute effects from the device control block (see page 147). Range of execution Each time the [RUN] button is pressed, the range of execution of the effect is from timecode 01:00:00:00 or the current time (the position at which the current effect is stopped) to the end point of the effect. However, if there is a pause set on a keyframe, the execution range is up to that point. Pressing the [RUN] button again resumes the effect, which then runs to the next pause point or the end of the effect. Run mode setting You can select from the following run modes for when the effect is executed. DIRECTION: Specify the effect execution direction. STOP NEXT KF: Run the effect, and stop at the next keyframe. EFFECT LOOP: Repeat the effect in an endless loop. Make these settings in the keyframe control block. (See Run Mode Setting in Chapter 13 (Volume 2).) 118 Keyframes

119 Snapshots Snapshot Types The term snapshot refers to a function whereby the various settings required to apply a particular effect to an image are saved in memory as a set of data, for recall as required, to recover the original state. You can carry out snapshot operations using the numeric keypad control block and the Snapshot menu. For details of snapshot operations, see Chapter 14 Snapshots (Volume 2). Snapshots are divided into two types, as follows. Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions Snapshots applying to a particular region (functional block of the switcher or DME) The term snapshot alone usually refers to this type of snapshot. Snapshot applying only to particular functions This type of snapshot includes the following. Key snapshot: This includes the key on/off state and all key settings other than key priority for each keyer. To use this function requires the MKS-8032 DSK Fader Module. The rest of this section describes the snapshots that apply to a particular region. Snapshot Attributes Types of attribute An individual snapshot may also have attached special conditions relating to switcher or DME operation when the snapshot is recalled. These conditions are called attributes of the snapshot, and can be added when the snapshot is saved or recalled. There are five snapshot attributes, as follows. Cross-point hold: When the snapshot is recalled, the cross-point button selection remains unchanged. This can be set independently for each bus. Snapshots 119

120 Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions Key disable: When the snapshot is recalled, the key settings remain unchanged. This can be set independently for each keyer. Effect dissolve: The transition from the state before the snapshot recall to the snapshot settings is carried out smoothly, by a dissolve. The dissolve duration can be set in the Snapshot menu. Auto transition: An auto transition starts the instant the snapshot is recalled. The auto transition setting is valid only for M/E-1, M/E-2, M/E-3, and PGM/PST. Note If both effect dissolve and auto transition are selected as attributes, the auto transition takes precedence. GPI output: A GPI output is sent to the allocated GPI port the instant the snapshot is recalled. The trigger type depends on the switcher GPI output settings made in the Setup menu. For details, see Interfacing With External Devices (Device Interface Menu) under Setup Relating to Switcher Processor in Chapter 16 (Volume 2). Table of available attributes The attributes that can be used depend on the region, as follows. Yes: Can be used No: Cannot be used Attribute Region M/E-1 and PGM/PST USER 1 to USER 2 DME 1 to DME 4 Cross-point hold Yes Yes Yes Key disable a) Yes No No Effect dissolve Yes Yes Yes Auto transition Yes No No GPI outputs b) Yes Yes No a) Applicable only as temporary attributes, but not applicable by a menu operation. b) Applicable only by a menu operation. For more details, see Saving and Recalling Snapshots in Chapter 14 (Volume 2). 120 Snapshots

121 Temporary attributes When recalling a snapshot, you can temporarily apply attributes distinct from the attributes set for each register. These are called temporary attributes. You can set temporary attributes when recalling a snapshot. For details of snapshot operations, see Chapter 14 Snapshots (Volume 2). Bus override If you recall a snapshot while holding down an A or B bus button, the selection of the signal on the A or B bus does not change when the snapshot is recalled. This function is called bus override. This function is effective when cross-point hold is off, and you want to temporarily maintain the cross-point setting. When cross-point hold is on, the above operation is not necessary. Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions Snapshots 121

122 Shot Box Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions Register #1 M/E-1: Snapshot #1 User2: Effect #5 DME3: Effect #1 Auto Run: On The term shot box refers to a function whereby for each specified region any snapshot or keyframe effect can be recalled simultaneously. The simultaneous recall setting data such as region names, snapshot numbers and keyframe effect numbers are stored in registers. There are 99 registers for each control panel. Register #2 M/E-1: Snapshot #1 DME1: Snapshot #15 GPI: Effect #1 Auto Run: off Register #3 M/E-1: Effect #1 P/P: Effect #90 User1: Effect #1 Auto Run: Off Register #99 P/P: Effect #2 DME1: Snapshot #1 Auto Run: On Shot Shot box box registers The figure above shows schematically the settings in the 99 shot box registers. Each register may contain any combination of the regions to which the register applies, with the snapshots or effects to be recalled. The Auto Run function is an attribute which can be set for each register. When this is set to On, an effect recalled by a shot box operation is automatically run. When register 1 is executed, this recalls M/E-1 snapshot 1, User2 effect 5, and DME3 effect 1. For register 1, auto run is on, and therefore the User2 and DME3 effects are run as soon as they have been recalled. When register 2 is executed, M/E-1 snapshot 1, DME1 shapshot 15, and GPI effect 1 are recalled. For register 2, auto run is off, and therefore to run the recalled effects, press the [RUN] button in the keyframe control block. Shot box settings and execution Carry out shot box register settings from the Shotbox menu. You can carry out shot box execution using the numeric keypad control block or the utility/shot box control block. For details of operation, see Chapter 15 Shot Box (Volume 2). 122 Shot Box

123 Setup Overview of Setup Various settings are required, in order to operate the switcher, control panel, DME, external devices, and so on, connected together in a single system. This is referred to as setup, and you can carry out the setup operations from the Engineering Setup menu. For details of the operations, see Chapter 16 Engineering Setup (Volume 2). The settings in the Engineering Setup menu are grouped under the following headings. System setup (System): Settings relating to the whole system (see the following section System Setup. ) Panel setup (Panel): Settings particular to the control panel (see page 127) Switcher setup (Switcher): Settings particular to the switcher processor (see page 129) DME setup (DME): Settings particular to the DME processor (see page 131) DCU setup (DCU): DCU input and output settings (see page 131) Router/tally setup (Router/Tally): Router interface and tally settings (see page 132) Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions System Setup The system setup settings apply to the whole system. Here the whole system refers to all devices connected on the Control LAN. The DCU is connected through the control panel, but is also included in the whole system. You can make the following settings. Network configuration (Network Config) This provides automatic configuration of all devices connected to the Data LAN (excluding the DCU), and displays a list of them. System configuration (System Config) Specify the overall system operating mode and the hierarchical relationship of the devices. Setup 123

124 Operating mode setting Single Proc mode: The control panel controls a single switcher. Dual Simul mode: The control panel controls two switchers. Device hierarchical relationship setting Panel Assign: Specify the switcher controlled by a control panel. Switcher Assign: Specify the DME connected to a switcher.
